She had reportedly voted for BJP candidates in the 2024 Rajya Sabha polls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Samajwadi Party expelled MLA Pooja Pal writes a letter to Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav\u201c\u2026 it is possible that I too may be murdered like my husband, if this happens, then I demand from the government &amp; administration that the real culprit of my murder should be\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1O451HdPai\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/1O451HdPai<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ANI (@ANI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ANI\/status\/1959085168871735487?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">She expressed fear that she could be murdered in public, like her husband, former BSP MLA Raju Pal, who was shot dead in 2005 allegedly on orders from gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">In the letter, she claimed that she is facing threat to her life from \u201ccriminal-minded&#8221; SP functionaries after being expelled from the party.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cYou have humiliated and left me in the lurch. This has emboldened the criminal-minded functionaries of SP. It is possible that I too may be murdered like my husband. I appeal to the government that if it happens, Samajwadi Party and Akhilesh Yadav should be held responsible,&#8221; the letter read.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Pal accused the SP of caste-based favouritism and failing to support her long-standing fight for justice. She said she had joined SP with the hope of backing in her battle against powerful criminals, but was ultimately sidelined, silenced and left disappointed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Pooja claimed enduring years of suffering in the party but the final blow was her expulsion without allowing her to present her case. \u201cIt felt like another act of injustice,&#8221; she wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">She questioned why her praise for Yogi was condemned, while Akhilesh and his wife\u2019s voting for BJP candidates was overlooked.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">\u201cA widow from an extremely backward caste is punished for thanking the person who ensured justice for her husband. But when you or your wife vote for BJP candidates in the Constitution Club elections, it is justified,&#8221; she further wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Pal concluded the letter with a message of defiance and pride. \u201cI have achieved my goal, my husband\u2019s murderers have been punished. Even if I die now, I will die with pride,&#8221; she further wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/01\/whatsapp-image-2025-01-18-at-18.11.52-2025-01-50eab38a6cff788db034d677dc6a903a.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/manisha-roy-28187.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Manisha Roy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Manisha Roy is a Senior Sub-Editor at News18.com&#8217;s general desk.
